Goodies from Nivea and Giveaway Announcement

Hey everyone!

I'm sitting here with orange hair right now, waiting for it to dry a bit so I can slap on some colour on to it! I'll show you what colour tomorrow. ^u^

But I was getting bored right now and thought I would share some goodies that Nivea sent me to try!

I remember when Nivea used to be that little blue tin of cream, now I realise they have SO many products!

Anyway, here's a little picspam for y'all!

I can't wait to try the Whitening Smooth Skin deo. Lol! JUST to see if it actually works! I will review it for you guys, armpit pics and all! HAHA! Yes, that's how much of a dedicated blogger I am, I will put up my armpits on the internet!

Then there is this SPF 30 water resistant Face Fluid and there's a face wash with it! It's INR 350! I feel like that is a lot but if the stuff is effective I wouldn't mind paying!

It looks really interesting, too bad I have no real use for it in this pouring rain. >.< 

Come October though, I'm going to need it!

Lastly, there is "Powerfruit Relax" Shower gel.

GUYS! This smells like the burps of angels who've been eating blueberries! SERIOUSLY!

It is so good.

And that sentence up there is probably a sign I need more ventilation when I'm bleaching my hair. Lol!

And it all came in a lovely cloth bag with vintage Nivea ads on the side.

This one is from 1958! Lovely illustration!

Hope you enjoyed this little post! Do let me know what Nivea products you enjoy!

SXUC "Kylie" Sunglasses from Sunglasses Shop: Review and Giveaway!

Hey girls and guys! I have a fun review and giveaway for you today!

I don't know how many of you know but I have a sunnies obsession, I have at least 10- 12 pairs by now, everything from big brands to ones you can buy from the street shops. I love them!

So when Sunglasses Shop kindly sent me over this lovely cat-eye, tortoise shell pair called Kylie from the brand SXUC, I was over the moon!

What's more, they've even offered to giveaway a pair of SXUC glasses to one lucky winner!

About Sunglasses Shop:

Sunglasses Shop is UK's largest online retailer of sunglasses. It's customers are from all walks of life and you can get sunglasses from the best bargains to the best luxury brands, from Rayban sunglasses to Prada, D&G and Chanel!

My sunglasses were shipped to me the very next day of choosing them and reached me within a fortnight. ^_^

They were quite well packed in brown cardboard and plastic but missing a case for the sunglasses, that was my only complaint. >.<

About SXUC:

"Sometimes you just like the colours. Sometimes you don’t want to spend a fortune and sometimes you just want a pair for the car. And so SXUC was born. SXUC started life in 2000, bringing inexpensive but well-designed products to the sunglasses world. Designed with one thing in mind - that sunglasses should be fun, SXUC is constantly changing styles, helping to bring to life the best in designer ideas at a fraction of the cost. But with all the same protection."

Price:

All SXUC frames are 20 GBP. ^_^

 The Kylie sunglasses have become an instant fave of mine! I've been looking for a pair of sunglasses that have a retro feel to them with the cat eye shape and tortoise shell design, although these have more of a leopard print, which I still love!

The Kylie sunnies have a cute stone detail on the side, you can't really see it when they're on, but it's a cute touch! And I absolutely love the colour of the lens, the purple- grey gradient adds a nice touch!

These sunnies have UV400 protection to keep your delicate eyes and eye area safe, this is a very important factor one must look out for when buying sunglasses! ^_^

 

SXUC sunglasses are go-to for people who want style and want to keep up with the trends but don't want to spend a lot of moolah on them! I recommend checking out Sunglasses Shop for more SXUC sunglasses and many other brands!

♥

 Sunglasses Shop is kindly giving away one pair of SXUC designer sunglasses to one lucky Beauty and the Cheap reader! Just fill out the Rafflecopter below and cross your fingers! ^_^

Good luck guys!

Good luck everyone! Let me know what you think about the sunglasses and I would also love to know what you think about my new pink- purple- red hair! See you again soon with more awesomeness! ~
